Product Description
This is a 3m Cat6 patch lead with RJ45 male connectors at both ends, built for wiring an IP camera, NVR or network switch without messing about with crimping tools.
What it's actually for
On a CCTV job, this length suits a camera-to-switch run within the same room or a short hop between a wall socket and an NVR — not a long outdoor run from camera to recorder, which usually needs a longer cable routed as one continuous length.
Key specs
- Cat.6, U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) — supports 250MHz bandwidth, enough headroom for Gigabit Ethernet traffic including camera video streams
- 24AWG copper conductors, gold-plated pins — helps keep the connection stable and resistant to corrosion at the contact points
- Nominal attenuation 32.8dB/100m @250MHz — signal loss is proportionally lower over a 3m run than the per-100m figure suggests
- Minimum bend radius 69mm — avoid tighter bends when routing behind cabinets or through trunking
- Operating range -10°C to 60°C — fine for indoor use; check enclosure/ambient conditions if run near external walls
- PVC jacket, polycarbonate housing, white finish — blends in against light-coloured walls and trunking
Being unshielded, it's suited to typical indoor domestic and office environments away from heavy electrical interference. If your camera needs Power over Ethernet, check your switch or injector supports it — this lead carries the signal but PoE capability depends on your other equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this cable work with PoE cameras?
It carries the network signal fine, but whether Power over Ethernet is delivered depends on your switch or injector supporting PoE — the cable itself doesn't add that capability.
Is this cable shielded?
No — it's U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair), which suits typical indoor home and office environments away from heavy electrical interference.
Can I use this for a camera-to-NVR run outdoors?
At 3m it's really intended for short indoor runs, such as camera-to-switch or wall socket to NVR, rather than a long outdoor camera run.
What speed does this cable support?
It's rated Cat.6 with 250MHz bandwidth, which gives enough headroom for Gigabit Ethernet traffic including video streams.
